Star spotting at the Oceans Thirteen premier

see all photos »

Cannes Film Festival 2007.  We arrived at 4:30 to get our spot near the red carpet (even though the event wasn't to start until 6pm) where we hoped to see Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, George Clooney, Al Pacino and Matt Damon for the Oceans Thirteen showing - and I also wanted to see Mark Wahlberg.  Even though we were beat by hundreds of others we had a half-decent spot but my camera does not have a good zoom feature it seems and the photos are not great.  I will add photos taken others when I receive them.  We saw all the stars we were expecting, except Al Pacino and Mark Wahlberg, but Kylie Minogue and Timbaland were there.  It was hot and sticky in the crowd, but it was worth it to be part of one of the biggest things going on in the world at this time.  Later on we would "shake our boo-tays" to Timbalands beats at the VIP room - a club usually located in StTropez but they export it to Cannes every year for the festival.  We managed to get VIP entry and open bar - in a place where tables cost 10,000 euros and drinks are 30 euros each!  How?  Luck was on our side that night I guess!  Most amazing night of my life. We went back for more the next night and we'll see what the rest of the weekend brings....
